| Checked the model, and the "model card" https://huggingface.co/dalle-mini/dalle-mini#bias is an interesting exercise in sensitivity absurdity: "Bias CONTENT WARNING: Readers should be aware this section contains content that is disturbing, offensive, and can propagate historical and current stereotypes." Spoiler alert, nothing contained in that section requires a warning. It's just abstract descriptions of "potential" negative stereotypes in images. "initial testing demonstrates that they may generate images that contain negative stereotypes against minoritized groups" Minoritized is a new word for me. As though minority status is something actively attached to someone. But no duh I can ask dalle to generate "images of klan members at a lynching" or "inner city police brutality" and get negative images. "When the model generates images with people in them, it tends to output people who we perceive to be white, while people of color are underrepresented." I'd like to see real testing, because from what I can tell this is not true. Ask for "white people" and you get weird abstract models of white figures. Ask for "black people" and you get beautiful photos of smiling black faces. Is this the kind of exercise AI researchers have to concern themselves with these days? |
